Travel is so much fun! In my eyes, travel is the best in situ learning laboratory! I am very lucky that I have had some opportunities to travel to different places of the world. These travel adventures are wonderful experiences that have enriched me and broadened my perspectives immensely. Shared below are a few of my favorite quotes about travel. I hope you find them inspirational as well. Below these quotes are some photos from some of my recent travels: the 2016 Galapagos and Ecuador, the 2017 Ghana and Nicaragua, the 2018 Summer Study Abroad to China. More travels will take place once COVID-19 is subsided.
